Global Warming Exists
For my opening statement/introduction, I will continue by defining the main topic, global warming. "Global Warming": Is the dramatic increase in global temperature in both the air and ocean. Global warming is caused by the excessive release of co2 (carbon dioxide) into the air. These released amounts of carbon dioxide gather in the ozone layer, which is supposed to protect the world from the sun's dangerous ultra violent rays. When the co2 is in the ozone layer, instead of defending the w...
The global warming hockey stick is bad science
The global warming hockey stick is a graph of global temperature over time. It was produced by a scientist named Mann, who first published it in a scientific journal in the mid-nineties. He modified and included it in the 2000 report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It is called a hockey stick because it shows very little variation of climate for the past thousand years until the 20th century, when temperatures soared. That makes the graph look like a hockey stick on its side...
Anthropogenic Global Warming
Anthropogenic Global Warming is enough of a threat to take action against it. I am not certain if it is real; neither side it. But, what I do know is that if we do not take action against it as soon as possible, and it turns out to be real; we will face irreversible side-effects. I will now explain my basic and SIMPLIFIED arguments. I will expand on them as the debate advances. Green House Gases control the global temperatures. This is what keeps us stable; unlike how it is on the moon. We...
Global warming is NOT a phenomenon that is happening right now.
Thank you Ching-Kit for being my friend, Thank you for debating and telling me about debate.org, Thank you for teaching me good strategies. Now prepare yourself. Global warming is an inaccurate theory. As a part of my evidence I will present to you a situation. In the 1970's, many news groups and organizations that studied the weather had a strong belief that we were going to, soon, go through another ice-age. Thirty years later: here we are. Earth has always gone through fluxua...
Global warming: A dentriment to Botswana's efforts of being self sufficient
"Botswana faces harsh climatic conditions in 50 years due to the effects of global warming. Climate change will decimate the country's wildlife and water resources and displace many Batswana who will be forced to flee drying up areas in search of places with better water resources" Anthropologist Richard Leakey If you think you know Botswana more than I, accept this challenge...

Mankind Is the Main Cause of Global Warming
I will be arguing for this issue, Ron-Paul will be arguing against. First round acceptance only.
This will be regular debate format, 2 cases in round 2, rebuttals for the rest of the debate.
Global warming is human caused and deserves to be a major concern when deciding American policy.
4,000 characters max I will be arguing in favor of this issue. Rules -------- First round: acceptance only Round 5: No new arguments may be presented If your oppnent asks for a source, it must be provided. You may not use Fox News, MSNBC, or other biased sources. You must cite your evidence as much as possible....
